The Reelin signaling and Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) both regulate neuronal positioning in the developing brain. Using double-transgenic mice, we have previously shown that these two signaling pathways lie in parallel fashion and have a genetic interaction. Disabled-1 (Dab1), an adapter protein, mediates Reelin signaling and becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated on the binding of Reelin to its receptors. Several isoforms of Dab1 are expressed in embryonic mouse brain, and p80 [Dab1(S55)] is the major protein translated. In the present study, we investigated whether CdkS-mediated phosphorylation of Dab1 modulates Reelin signaling. Cdk5 phosphorylates p80 Dabl at multiple sites in its carboxyl terminal region, and tyrosine phosphorylation of p80 Dabl by Fyn tyrosine kinase is attenuated by this Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation in vitro. Tyrosine phosphorylation. of p80 Dab1 induced by exogenous Reelin is enhanced in Cdk5-deficient neurons, corroborating the inhibitory effect of Cdk5-mediated Ser/Thr phosphorylation on tyrosine phosphorylation of p80 Dabl. Another isoform, p45 Dabl [Dabl(271)], however, is phosphorylated by CdkS at one serine residue within a unique carboxyl-terminal region, and its serine phosphorylation enhances tyrosine phosphorylation. by Fyn and results in progressive degradation of p45 Dabl. These results indicate that Cdk5 modulates Reelin signaling through the Ser/Thr phosphorylation. of Dabl differently in an isoform-specific manner. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
